​

Aquatic therapy relies on the properties of water to counteract gravity and supply  support. Low-impact exercise in soothing warm water (92 degrees) can help  increase strength and flexibility without placing excess stress on your joints.  Pediatric and adult patients, even those who do not swim, may also experience  reduced joint stiffness, improved balance, and coordination, and more. Patients  interested in aquatic therapy will need a physical therapy order from their doctor.  They will then receive an evaluation from a physical therapist before pool sessions  begin.
